We are just over a month away from the launch of the iPhone 14 series and a new report about the expected price has taken our excitement a notch higher. The report suggests that the base model i.e., iPhone 14, will come at a price similar to iPhone 13. Earlier, it was being speculated that the iPhone 13 series will be priced at least $100 more than the iPhone 13. This year Apple will introduce a new model iPhone 14 Max along with iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

As shared by “yeux1122” on the Korean blog Naver, the tech giant is planning to keep the price of its entry-level iPhone 14 similar to iPhone 13 in order to attract more customers and make more sales. The post was first spotted by MacRumors. It claims that the decision has been taken by “top executives” at Apple because of a decline in demand.

Starting with the base iPhone 14, it is said to cost around $799 in the US, which is around Rs. 63,200 in India when converted, however, after adding GST and import duty charges, it will go higher. iPhone 13 was launched for ₹79,990 and hence, we may expect iPhone 14 too to go on sale at the same price.

However, Apple is yet to reveal the official price and other details of the iPhone 14 series. Meanwhile, the company is tipped to launch the new iPhone lineup on September 13. After that iPhone 13 is speculated to become even cheaper, keeping in view the past trends.
